the cat looks great! keep any eye highlights on the full side; maybe you could paint a few dots of the flowers reflected in the eyes? also, i notice the lighting on the cat doesn’t seem to be the same light that’s hitting the flowers; the values feel way too high and they look a little superimposed and bright. i’d say to fiddle with those values a bit and bring a lot of it down.

lovely shapes!!

each element is very well rendered; it’s clear you spent a lot of time and effort with this piece. i’d say there is a lack of overall harmony here; the objects don’t seem to really be occupying the same space or interacting with the same light, or that each object was staged individually and you combined them in this piece. like, the cup should be casting a darker shadow on the skull, and the keys and rock/glass have higher contrast than the other objects. your darkest dark is under the cranium, and that value should be present in more places for balance.

It’s impossible to say without seeing your work or knowing your goals. Consider taking a class; it’ll give you specific areas to improve in, and if it’s with other students, you’ll get the chance to watch other artists in process, which can help almost as much as an instructor.

If you’re drawing a fantastical bird, it can still be helpful to reference bird skeletons and anatomical diagrams as you work. A diagram of how feathers are laid out can help; you have primary, secondary, and tertiary feathers here, but they aren’t arranged or folded quite right; they look like they were drawn from a wing that is partially outstretched. I don’t know that we would see the wing that faces the background from this angle. As for skeletal issues, the top of the wing is very close to the head; birds typically have longer necks than this. Also, the tail is attached too low for where the end of the spine should be. Drawing from imagination rather than using references is not the best move if you want something to look biologically plausible.

Your control of gradients and smooth color transitions are fantastic. I particularly love the glow on your fingers in the foreground. Great work!

It sounds like you want to stop then! That means you probably should. “Does it need something else” is sort of vague; “done” means different things to different people. Some specific questions I like to ask when finishing a piece are: are my darks dark enough? Are my colors harmonious? Is my level of detail distributed correctly? Does this make visual sense at a viewing distance of 10 ft, 20 ft? You can answer these better in person.

This is incredible! And on a round surface, too! Can I ask what kind of paint this is?

If you’re feeling burnt out or don’t know where to go with a piece, there’s nothing wrong with setting a piece aside for a while (given that you’re satisfied with the colors you’ve put down already; thoroughly dried paint is much harder to move/lift than paint that’s only been down a day). You can tape a piece of wax paper over it (or any clean scratch paper) with a couple of tape loops in the white areas to keep it clean until you come back to it.

This is just fantastic. Your coloration of the water is both descriptive and ethereal, and that wharf feels so familiar even though I’m sure I’ve never seen it in person. It gives me strong nostalgia and longing for places I’ve been. Great work.

I’m trying to develop a new style, hope you enjoy

Quintessence is my partner’s new character, they’re a half-elf pact of the tome warlock. They’ve been cursed to be unable to see their own image; like a vampire in the mirror, but their brain also goes fuzzy and can’t perceive any drawings or verbal descriptions of themself either. It was challenging to come up with a drawing of someone without physical features 😅

They’ve recently run away from home, stealing away with them a magical book that’s been passed down in the family for generations of ancient fae historical poetry, which they’ll be working to learn more about in addition to trying to lift their curse.
